A kosher baking company has been left red-faced, and bracing for a possible backlash from religious Jewish customers, after a batch of cookies which were not kosher for Passover were found for sale at an international airport.
On Tuesday, mid-way through the Pesach (Passover) festival, a Jewish traveler posted an image online taken from JFK International Airport in New Jersey, showing a Reisman’s "Black and white cookie" for sale at a store which was labeled in Yiddish as "baked after Passover".
According to halakha (Jewish law) foods which are not kosher for Passover may not be eaten, owned, produced or benefited from in any way during the festival. Companies and individuals who own such foods must either dispose of them prior to Passover or sell them temporarily for its entire duration.
As such, the sale of such goods on Passover would cast heavy doubt on the company's overall kosher certification.
